Article is new enough and long enough; presentable, neutral, appropriately cited, no evident copyvio; hook facts are cited inline in reliable sources. QPQ is done. Hook length is satisfactory. I am approving ALT2 as the most interesting of the bunch and made a slight modification to the wikilinks for simplicity's sake. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:04, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
